The Cumberland Times, in discussing
the cause and effect of Democratic victor
les in Ohio, the stronghold of RepubIi-
canism. gives the following strong reasons
why the Democratic party was successful.
It says: "When we look over the country
and find firm and stable administration,
honest in all departments of the public
service, no star route frauds, whiskey
rings nor corrupt lobby, procuring by the
wealth of powerful corporations, large
subsidies, wholesale grants of the peoples
heritage-the public lands; when we see
honest efforts made to relieve the people
of the burden of unnecessary taxation, and
throughout the whole governmental pol
icy an unmistakable desire to act honest
ly, economically and for the best interests
of the people; when we see, in a word, an
undeniable wish, intention and effort to
give US clean government; when we look
over the country and see these things,
there is no use to look further to find out
why Republicans, sensible men, practical
plain business men, men who have no AZ
to grind, and who place the good. of th
country above any mere party shibboletb,
either stay at home and offer no opposi-
tion to the Democratic ticket, or else 60
to the polls and vote for the Democratic
nominees"

Fer the benefit of our boys in blue who
will 60 to the military encampment at
Hagerstown next July we reprint the fol-
lowing from the Baltimore Herald to give
them an idea of the place they are to visit.
It is an exceedingly encouraging prospect
indeed to spend ten days in this delight
ful Western Maryland town and to be paid
for the enjoyment likely to be gotten out
of the trip. "Hagerstown is undoubtedly
the best site for camping ground ia
Western Maryland, and has facilities
which could not be found in any other
place in the western border of the state.
The city is beautifully situated in the
heart of the mountains, and is delightful
tewn in all respects. 1t is business
place in every sense of the word, being ac-
cessible by four different railroad lines.
The town contains many handsome pri-
vate residences, particularly those on Pros
pect and Potomac streets. 1t is also q
city of churches, whose picturesque archi-
lecture adds much to the general beauty
of the place. There are several spacious
hotels in the town which are frst-class in
all their appointments 1t may be readily
assumed that the Hsgerstown camp will
be one where all will enjoy royalty good
time. There will be plenty of pretty girls
in whose society the soldier-boy can vile
away the hours when he is released from
duty and enjoy in common the Delights of
summer in the mountain region"

In referring in recent interview to the
approaching gubernatorial race in this
State, Collector Greome says he does not
believe there is man living who can at
this time foretell who will be the demo.
cratic nominee. II he had the selecting
of the candidate he says be would endea-
vor to find q man who, in the first place,
is good stump-speaker, one who is we'll
informed on all questions likely to arise
in the campaign, and who could promptly
reply to any new issues which might be
presented for his consideration. The can
didate should also be selected with q
view to uniting every faction in the party,
10 that it could not be said that he is this
or that mans man. He should also be .
man easy to approach on all public ques-
tions, and OF q judicial turn Of mind It
might be difficult matter to find man
possessing all these qualifications COM
bined, but there are certainly some men in
the State who can fill the bill.
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser., 1887-04-15

We fully agree with the Carroll Demo-
crat, when it advocates the selection of
good men for the Legislature. In late
article on this subject it says: Law Off
GERS can only enforce the laws that ara en-
acted +; the responsibility of the enactment
of laws lies in the Legislature. There are
many important subjects that can be ma
terially effected without the consezt or
approval of State officers and which, if
wroug, they would be powerless to pre-
vent. The subjects of reform, retrench-
meat, reduction of taxation, abolition of
unnecessary offices, correction of objec-
tionable methods in politics, the enforce
ment of just laws concerning the labor
question, and the enacf ment, when neces-
sary, Of other laws on the same subject !;
these are some of the matters which lie
strictly within the province of the LegIs-
lature. All are interested in this matter
and, therefore, all should take an active
interes. and see to it that none but true
men are sci ,cted.

A republican in New York recently
sketched what be said is the Blaine
scheme for 1888. Mr. Blaine will leave
shortly for trip in Europe, which will
probably last until after the republican
national convention has met next year.
During his trip abroad, while apparently
having abandoned all efforts TO secure the
nomination, lie will have skilled and
trusted lieutenants at home to look after
his interests here. II he should be nomi-
mated while still abroad the nomination
would have the appearance of having
sought him instead of the reverse. He
could then enter the campaign with all
the eclst OF a unanimous and unsought
nomination, and go before the people as
the strongest leader of his party. While
in Europe Mr. Blsine's friends will see
that he is not lost sight of While his
absence will save him from the necessity
of taking part in any political compiea-
tions at home, it will be the means of in
CIcaslnS uis pEouliucuCc nc wiz oc tue
subject of attentions abroad which will
be fully reported at home. He will prob
ably meet Gladstone, Parnell and other
English leaders, and if Mr.. Blaine does
not find an opportunity while in England
of increasing his hold on the Irish vote at
home, he is not the shrewd and able poll
tician that he is believed to be. Then he
will have an opportunity of contrasting
the differing conditions of foreign and
American laborers and will, no doubt,
seek to impress upon the workingmen in
this country the advantage of voting for
protection to home industries. Then il
nominated while abroad, what a magnifi-
cent reception would be arranged for h,m
on his return home Excursion steamers
filled with thousands OF his followers
would sail down the harbor to meet the
steamer on which he Will return, and
long procession OF republican clubs, with
bands and banners, would escort him up
Broadway to his hotel. If this republican
is correct in his conjectures the Blaine
scheme is an elaborate one and has The
merit of novelty.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. A.-When Greer
Smith raped the Senate to order thi!
morning, Colonel Robertson, who had beer
admitted to the floor, started toward the
chair. He was met on the steps by the
assistant doorkeeper, who told him hi
could not come up. The Colonel replied
that he was the presiding officer of the
Senate and must take his seat, and
stepped forward, when the doorkeepel
repelled him to the foot of the stairs
He thereupOn stood in front of the
clerks desk and stated that he had been
elected Lieutenant-Governor of the State
and by the constitution was the Presiding
Officer of the Senate, and he demanded his
seat. The point of order was raised that
none but members of the Senate could take
up the time of that body, which Smith
sustained and called upon the doOrkeeper
to remove him from the chamber. The
doorkeeper approached Robertson, took
his arm and the two walked out to the
main door. The crowd saw Robertson come
out and there was great excitement. He
mounted the steps and made a speech, re-
citing what had transplred in the chamber,
and cautioned the people to do nothing that
would infringe on the peace or dignity of
the State, or that they would regret In
cooler moments. During the excitement
about the Senate doors, Senator johnson, of
Wayne, denounced the doorkeepers, and
during the melee number Of persons from
the inside approached the door, among
them Senator Mcdonald, who put up his
hands johnson interpreted it as an attempt
to thrust him back and struck the Senator
on the face. Senator Denote was ordered
into his seat and when the sergeant put him
down he threw him to the floor. When the
House was called to order bills on their
passage were called up and one bill passed.
The Speaker announced that when the
Lieutenant Governor was presiding in the
Senate according to the constitution the
fact of the passage would be communicated
to that body and not till then.
